There’s something about being in the presence of Jesus. If like me, you’ve ever had what seems like a dream or vision of be in the presence of Jesus, there’s  an everlasting feeling of love, peace and joy that radiates from him to you that is out of this world. Like an energy that draws you in, but in a good way, like ecstasy and your spirit wants you to remain in that state. You understand why so many people would drop whatever they were doing to follow him. He’s like an magnet, you can’t help but be drawn to him. Now I could understand why both men and women was drawn to him and why those who opposed him wanted to kill him.

Jesus loves to feed you. The first thing he did was prepared a table before me and invited me to sit, eat and drink while he spoke. There’s something about rice, bread, fish, wine and water he’d prepare. When you finish speaking and eating, you can feel it within your spirit, you’ll never be the same. You’ll have the kind of love and patience for all of humanity and God creations like never before, good or bad. You no longer see color, religion, or ethnicity of people. Your spiritual eyes will open and you’d see all people deeply in need of salvation no matter what they’ve done. You’ll have compassion and love for them with no judgement, but mercy for them all.

So if you’ve seen Jesus even the way you see the world and understand it changes. Nothing definitely wouldn’t be the same for you. You learn not to worry when the spirit moves you to do anything. No more temptations inside of you to take matters into your own hands, especially your willingness to believe you can fight for him like Peter when he drew the sword and cut of the ear of the soldiers (John 18:10) You begin to understand that the battle is His and you have to stand still and see his salvation. Move only when he tells you to not because some how you think you can do His job better  than Him. Jesus understands people are sinners and He knows just what to do about it. After all he became us and took on sin for us all.

Being who God has called you to be can be challenging especially with the unseen opposition(devil). Whenever you are called by God it is for you to be a world changer. You are marked for greatness, but become a target for the adversary the devil.

God has always looked around in the world searching out for all the simpleton to use for his glory.

Thou shalt not covet started in the beginning with Cain toward his brother Abel (Genesis 4:1-9) God said in verse 7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it. After this saying Cain killed his brother. Why? He wanted God to accept his offering as he did his brother Abel. But what Cain failed to realized is that his brother wasn’t wasting his energy and time looking over his shoulder at what he was doing, but was concentrating on doing the will of God and giving his all to it.

Next Jacob and Esau Genesis 25:29-34 Jacob stay at home cooking, unlike Esau his older brother who was a skillful hunter, a man of the open country. Jacob thought  he can manipulate his brother Esau into selling him his birthright due to him coming in from the feild hungry and exhausted. Made him swear to him for bread and lentil stew. Esau swear and ate and drank. Jacob didn’t stop there with him, in Genesis 27 he goes in to his father and pretends to be Esau and steals his brother’s blessing from his father. It’s preached that the mother is the instigater behind this deception she may have just been in the right place at the right time to carry out what Jacob had already wanted or maybe even discussed with her about doing. Jacob mother Rebekah wasn’t mentioned when he made Esau swear to give him his birthright.

To make a long story short what Jacob had done became a curse unto him. His brother found out that he stool his birthright and now also his blessing. Like Cain, Esau wanted to kill his brother, but after his father death. Then he had to run away  leave his mom and dad, from his brother’s anger towards him.  He then went to his uncle to take a wife  and the same thing he did to his brother and father was done unto him by his uncle who was now angry at him. Then now he had to run from his uncle on the left and had no way to run to this time beside God, because his brother Esau was on the right coming after him in anger also. Question is, should a blessing become a curse? Why did Jacob had to go through all that he did to get what was rightfully his anyway. Genesis 25:22-26 In the womb they were struggling and the younger Jacob coming out  of the womb held on to the elder Esau heel. God predicted to their mother what was going to be their future, the elder shall serve the younger, like the angel Gabriel told the Virgin Mary about the birth of Jesus.

Jacob lesson was for him to come to the knowledge of being truthful and righteous, accepting himself for who he was created to be, after wrestling with what was believe to be a man all night till he tells him his name. God had already given him the prediction when he started his journey and took stones and made it a pillow for him to sleep. Genesis 28:11-22 In verse 13 and 15 God revealed himself to Jacob. And Jaccob situation with with his uncle and brother draw him closer to God in that his faith delivered him from both their anger towards him.

Jacob didn’t have to covet his brother, he was already his own individual. Genesis 32:24:30 Where he wrestled with what was believed to be a man who changed his name from Jacob to Israel, which mean, you wrestled with God and with men, and you have won (Genesis 32:28). Genesis 32:30 Jacob said,” I have seen God face to face, and I am still alive.”

What is the lesson for us all, coveting someone else can be nothing but trouble. When something is for you nothing and no one can be against you, Romans 8:31 If the shoes is to big for your feet, eventually it will fall off or even cause you to fall. God help you if it is to small, the pain it will cause for you to put it on and try to walk in it. Hey! “the glass slippers was only meant for Cinderella.”

Everthing that’s in the dark must come to light. Why are we so suprised about what is going on in Hollywood today regarding the allegations of sexual abuse and all kinds of misconduct especially toward women? At least they are not afraid of coming forth today and making a claim of abuse, not even children. One thing we all have to remember is there’s nothing new under the sun. These things has been happening for what seems like forever. People just never had the freedom, protection or rights to come forth with such allegations.

Whenever one thinks of Hollywood, it’s all about stardom and fortune. But behind-the-scenes of all that there’s a dark side to it, unspeakable horrors, the price many who are desperate and vulnerable pay. Sexual misconduct, drugs, alcohol, depression, anxieties, and abuse of power by those who are in the authority to make or break the careers of desperate and vulnerable seekers of fame and fortune.

I speak of Hollywood, but it is really all about the fame and fortune and it doesn’t matter whether you’re an actor, musicians, dancer, singer, model, director, producer, an agent whatever’s associated with fame and fortune. If you are not grounded or anchored in your faith you can be led into temptation to sin your soul. And if you have no foundation of faith, tenacity, resilience there’s a price you going to pay one way or the other to the detrimental to your well being if not careful and it can be long lasting.

Now I understand why the it is written in the Bible, “seek first the kingdom of God and all things would be added to you” Matthew 6:33 When we seek God like we seek fame and fortune we would never find ourselves being in an compromising position of our well being and can be assured that all our needs will be met without worry or hurt.

Sodom and Gomorrah was not about homosexuality and being Transgender. It was about people who has the ability to choose to do that which is righteous and good, but they rather be evil than good for their own selfish ambitions. They were like the hereditary generation of the people in the day of Noah.

There should be no condemnation or judgement against the alleged people in Hollywood who when they were young made mistakes and is no longer doing what they used to do having recognized it to be wrong and have changed their ways for the greater good. 1 Corinthians 13:11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man/woman, I put away childish things. But the accused authority figures who used their positions to take advantage of the desperate and vulnerable and use their authority to try and manipulate them into doing whatever they command them to do to advance their careers and is continuing in this way is wrong and nothing but evil.

The entertainment industry has to be the one targeted, because it is seen by the masses. It is like being high looking down, but remember the higher you are the harder you fall, especially when all eyes is on you world wide. God wants whatever is in the light of the world to be righteous and good. It is judgement day for all man especially the stars, if you want to continue to shine. God is dimming the light of the glowing industry, Hollywood. He want the glowing light to be a righteous light to shine on truth, not to cover up deceit. Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may se your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Everything in the world has to start representing the goodness of God. It would be no longer said, be in the world but not as the world. Romans 12:2 Be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. The world is going become as God has created it to be before the the eating of the forbidden fruit, Eden (PARADISE)

When all has failed you, who else can you turn to but God? Matthew 8:24 The disciples were afraid that they were going to die in a storm while Jesus was in the boat sleeping. But look how lucky they were to have had direct access to Jesus to wake him up by crying out, and right away he calmed the storm by rebuking it. Wait a minute when Jesus awoke instead of being panicked and troubled the first thing he said was, “why are you fearful, oh you of little faith.” What an example of faith!

The fear was real and even though the disciples knew Jesus was capable of performing great miracles. Jesus was tempted for forty days by the devil after he was baptized by John. Matthew 3:13-17, 4:1-11 But what has caused the target on Jesus by the devil was Matthew 3:16-17 As soon as Jesus was baptized,  he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the spirit of God descending like a dove and a lighting on him and a voice from heaven said,”This is my son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.” The devil has always been after Jesus in one way or the other all his life, but I believe God’s declaration of Jesus was the key to the devil demise for all to hear. You see Jesus over came the devil in the wilderness so now he came after the disciples to get to Jesus.

What really is the storm in our lives? It is the struggles within and around us we refuse to rebuke like Jesus did in Mark 4:39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, “Peace be still,” and the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. Jesus says we can do this by faith. But yet we say it’s hard to trust God in a storm. Many times we find ourselves in a storm and like the disciples Jesus is right there in it with us, even when the fear is real, when we can’t rebuke the storm do like the disciples wake up Jesus by praying and meditating in the word; having great faith. But what Jesus really taught us is to be still and know that God is God, to stand in faith with bold assurance Psalm 46:1-11 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth be removed, and the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea, though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof…

Only when you’re in the storm you can truly feel the fear and anxiety it causes. Remember nothing last for ever after the rain the sun will shine again, so this too will pass God is always in control, have faith.
